"I wish the heck I had taken it!!!!" What a wonderful timeless photograph. Good on you my friend, it's beautiful in all it's simplicity. "Ansel Adams eat your dead heart out! ;-) You have just been relegated to the out basket!" ;-) I'm kidding about Ansel folks, so don't git yer knickers in a knot over the comment about the worlds greatest rock and fern shooter. ;-) But Adam it's a beauty! Thanks for posting and I don't know how I missed it earlier. :-( Quite frankly I don't really care what camera you used because it's one damn fine photograph and stands on it's own merit due to the eye of the photographer. Well done me old son! :-) ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard S.
